  3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the pan.
  4. Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.

For extra crispiness, sear the chicken in batches. Marinate chicken in soy sauce and honey for a few hours for added flavor. Feel free to swap rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice for healthier options.
